Photographing Bailey and Oakley was a lot of fun. These adorable yorki-poos (a mix of Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle) are very sweet and have tons of personality!

As told by their owner . . .

“Moe and Bailey (aka, “the boys”) came to their “forever home” via the American Brittany Rescue, whose outstanding and committed volunteers saved them from an uncertain future. Moe, who was given to a shelter by his original family for unknown reasons, is strong, confident and full of life—chasing birds, squirrels and most of all, his brother Bailey. Moe bonded with his new parents immediately. He especially loves his Dad and thinks he deserves dad’s undivided attention. Bailey was “on the streets” as a stray and eventually landed in a shelter where he was rescued in the nick of time (gulp!) by an American Brittany Rescue volunteer. He came to his new family a bit underweight, and a little scared, but his transformation has been amazing – he is now trusting and full of love. He is a gentle pup who tirelessly runs laps around his large backyard, will play fetch at any opportunity, and most of all, loves to cuddle. The boys are now inseparable! They recently welcomed a new human baby sister to the pack. They’re great brothers, always quick to greet her with a kiss or to share their toys (and bones) with her. American Brittany Rescue gave the boys a new lease on life—and our whole family couldn’t be more grateful.”

I first met Bailey in 2003 at a portrait event – and I’ve had the pleasure of photographing him at several other portrait events – the last one in 2008.  Aside from being a joy to photograph, he was adorable, loving and a true partner to his human.  There are no words when this happens.  I hope you can get a glimpse of his wonderful personality in these images.

This is Bailey in 2003. 

And some of my favorite images from subsequent sessions.

Bailey was featured in a coffee table book with Nicholas the cat (see post below this one). 

Let’s hear it for unrestrained enthusiasm!  True to his breed, he loves to run and play.

But he also likes to take time to appreciate the quiet moments.
